REX Updates Weather Force 2020 for MSFS

REX has updated Weather Force for Microsoft Flight Simulator with its first technical update. The new update brings a range of changes that have been given as feedback to the developers since the release of the product last week.

The changelog provided by REX highlights that pressure, wind and temperature measurements are now fixed, along with improvements to how cloud coverage was handled in the simulator. Live weather at airports has also been improved for accuracy to ensure that users have a better experience with the weather add-on. In addition, REX has also improved the frame rates during the transition between weather and also how storm and cloud structures are made in the simulator. For those that had issues with the registration process will also be pleased that that has been fixed to make the experience as easy as possible.

As a reminder, REX Weather Force 2020 is a METAR based dynamic real-time weather engine designed to work exclusively with Microsoft Flight Simulator. REX claims that the further granular control of their engine creates smoother weather transition. The software uses NOAA data to inject weather into the simulator to present accurate conditions to simmers flying in Microsoft Flight Simulator.

You can buy REX Weather Force 2020 from the REX Store or from simMarket for $21.95 (excluding tax).
